Right now my semps are okay with the rocks under them/touching them but when it gets hot i'm scared because of the coating the rocks will get hot enough to burn the semp's.I am wondering if i work them small aquarium rocks into the soil & use the small rocks Lowes has (probably is just rock with no coating),i can use them under & around my semps to protect them from wet soil.The pea gravel i have in the picture is to big to use under or to close to my semp's.I can still use my pea gravel as a top coat as i finish parts of the bed.
Right now there are a good many leaves in my bed,what's the best way to clean it out? Now that the leave are not falling or in the spring before new growth starts.With a blower before the new growth gets any size is what sounded good to me.
